Spanish golfer Jon Rahm has opened up on the 'painful' experience of losing a six-shot lead to Scottie Scheffler in the final round of the golf event in Paris. 

"I not only feel like I let myself down but to just not get it done for the whole country of Spain, it's a lot more painful than I would like it to be," he said, after finishing fifth.

"I've gotten the question, where this tournament would rank in my opinion or what I would think it would feel like to win, and I think by losing today, I'm getting a much deeper appreciation of what this tournament means to me than if I had won any medal, right.

"I'm getting a taste of how much it really mattered. I've been very honoured to represent Spain in many, many different events, and to not get this one done stings quite a bit."
